LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

Is the Death Star Plans promo not available in Australia? I bought the two Mando s3 sets + a snowtrooper BP to get the DS promo, but only the X-wing and DS were added to my cart, and I can no longer find anything about the plans on Australian LSAH.

Death Star Plans? I, somehow suspect that they ran out of it? Or if lucky, some bug so they do not show up?

I did a test cart on the aussie site and only see X-Wing 30654 and 40591 Death Star II.

Would be weird if they ran out since it hasn't been up for long and the other two are still available. 

I went to try a test cart on the US site to see if it came up then but I forgot that it's not May for those guys yet (skill issue). I'll be busy for the rest of the day, so can someone from the US please post here if/when you are able to try to get the promos?

That's good. Looks like it's just Aus getting the short end of the stick again.

They were available when the promo first went live but sold out in a few hours.

Unpopular opinion time but I don't like the fabric kamas anyway. I prefer printed on, though the best option might be dual molded legs so that the design doesn't just cut off at the sides and back.

A potentially unpopular opinion I also hold is that I actually preferred the plastic kamas when it came to clones. I think the cloth ones look fine, but the plastic ones were a lot easier to take on and off for sitting and stuff, and I didn’t have to worry about them tearing or getting worn.  The cloth ones give a bit more pose-ability, but either option is still unable to sit down, so I’d honestly rather just go back to the plastic ones, that way we can still get the effect of a separate piece but not worry about durability during play.

I really didn't like the plastic kamas, because they made it so the legs couldn't really move when it was on, and they also looked really rectangular and blocky. I think dual-molded legs are the best option, but with the cloth at least you've got mobility.

Well, website crashed and I was in the waiting room.  Might as well line up at the lego store tomorrow.

[Mandalorianknight]

I'm in the website, but when I tried to checkout it crashed, and now my cart is gone. I'm slowly going insane.

I know! If anything, this is worse than the queue. At least then, once you got in, you could buy stuff.

Annoyingly, it let me spend all my VIP points on discounts already... of course.

And right on queue, we're back in the queue. This has actively made me drop a set off the list, just to hope it lets my smaller purchase go through.

Site has been crashing on and off, I was able to get in and secure a payment but now I have no confirmation email and a charged card :/

Thoroughly annoyed by Lego tonight.

Why are people so adamant on buying things at midnight as if they won’t be in stock for at least 2-3 days? 

[icm]

Because sometimes they aren't in stock for 2-3 days. Sometimes they're out of stock within a couple hours of release and they're not restocked for months. Also, if it's a really nice GWP it'll most likely be out of stock really quick.

[KevinMD]

What are the USA vip rewards?

Executor was only in stock for about 2 hours when it became available for Aus & NZ, and the coin GWP didn't last much longer.

Because time and time again that's 100% not been true. Not even just desirable sets that you'd just have to wait a few weeks for restock or to get somewhere else, but GWPs you'll never have a chance at again.

 

 

And of course, even getting back into the site, my cart won't load. I think I'm done for the night. This is absurd and they really need to fix it.

I know we all say it every time, but it's still beyond frustrating that this same site fiasco keeps happening year after year.

It's cost them at least one sale this time. I remembered that the 5x points on the Andor set was only in-store after my initial purchase attempt, so now I'm just getting the throne room. (I was extremely on the fence about buying the andor set)

How long was the Lars homestead available for last year? It was more than a day.

Seriously, this is the worst ever for me. an hour an a half have added this to carts, tried favorited, havent even been able to get to a checkout, and wont be able to deal with the lines tomorrow. So I guess no GWP, and maybe buying less down the road on sale.

And the Executor is already out of stock

I’m not sure what’s happening with mine. I knew it was going to be popular so I pre-ordered it. 

I was expecting to see it in my cart when I picked up the X-Wing and promo items but wasn’t there. 

Will have to be patient and wait for the rush to die down. 

[Frizzlefry25]

ive made some progress... after two hours i have a cart, a check out screen, but now lego apparently does not ship to my zip code. I guess the last 100 orders over the years were a mirage?
